Leanne Kernohan

Leanne Kernohan is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anger and related struggles. She works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and motivation. She aims to make the first steps towards change feel less overwhelming and more doable.

Leanne sees people as experts in their own lives and builds on existing strengths. She offers clear, practical ways to manage upsetting feelings and improve everyday coping. Conversations are straightforward and paced to what each person needs.

Her background includes four years of professional experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on a mix of approaches to match the situation rather than using a single technique every time.

Leanne uses tools from cognitive behavioural therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people focus on values and small steps. Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns.

Sessions aim to build skills you can use between appointments, such as managing anger, improving sleep, or coping with life changes. The therapist supports goal-setting and practical strategies while listening to what matters most to the person.

She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Prospective clients choose therapy by completing the Start Therapy button and a short questionnaire before scheduling.

How Leanne uses different therapies online

Leanne commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to shape online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck on them and to take small, value-driven actions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviours and trying practical changes to reduce anger, anxiety or low mood.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about needs, goals and preferences and will try methods that fit that individual. Adjustments can be made over time so the work feels useful and manageable.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy lives and fewer travel demands. If you need to keep sessions shorter for a work break or prefer not to be on camera, discuss that when you schedule. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
